Chapter 69 Harem Visit

After quieting down, Qin Mubai thought carefully about whether to take the initiative to make it clear to Li Shimin about the farce of Princess Gaoyang.

I still don't want it.

The princess jumped into the river and committed suicide, so as to frame the minister... This matter is very drooling. Li Shimin must have known the news as soon as something happened in the harem. If you take the initiative to talk to him, it is tantamount to viling his family in front of the emperor.

Just think that nothing has happened. Big things turn into small things and small things turn into small things.

After thinking about this layer, Qin Mubai went to Danfengmen again, found the team of soldiers just now, and solemnly warned them not to tell today's events, otherwise it may be a matter of losing his head. These sergeants were all errands in the palace, and they were all easy-to-understand. Naturally, they knew that this kind of thing was very important, so they agreed cautiously.

In fact, paper can't wrap fire, and this kind of thing often spreads everywhere in an instant. The reason why Qin Mubai did this is nothing more than to make a look. In the future, if the emperor is angry and asks about his guilt, he will have an excuse to excuse first.

This should be foolproof.

The next morning, Qin Mubai went to the Daming Palace as usual to pick up Li Shimin in the morning. Li Shimin is no different from usual. He didn't mention anything about Princess Gaoyang yesterday. Qin Mubai was secretly happy: It seems that my decision is right. Don't take the initiative to expose this kind of thing, so as not to embarrass the emperor.

As usual, Qin Mubai came to the Penglai Hall. His father took care of the two little princes, Li Zhi and Li Mingda. He told stories and taught Pipa. The morning passed quickly.

At noon, Qin Mubai took a nap in the pavilion of the imperial garden as usual, and a maid of honor came over.

Qin Mubai recognized the maid of honor, who was one of the four people who had been taken down by him for a few days in prison, the maidservant of Princess Gaoyang.

"General Qin." The maid of honor walked to Qin Mubai and saluted respectfully. She looked a little timid and didn't dare to look at him.

"What's the matter with my wife?" This is a more polite name for Gong E's maidservant, Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

"It's nothing... I just happened to pass by here and say hello to Qin Mubai." The maid of honor replied in a low voice with a red face.

"Oh?" Qin Mubai smiled in his heart. Looking at you, lying is not professional enough. Who will pass by the Royal Garden when it's hot at noon? Princess Gaoyang must have sent her here.

"How is Your Highness?" Qin Mubai was very knowledgeable and asked.

"Well... Shang Hao. It's just..." The maid of honor is hesitant

"Just what?" Qin Mubai asked.

"It's just that I was frightened yesterday, fell into the water and suffered from cold, and fell ill for a while." The maid looked at Qin Mubai with a sad face and looked at Qin Mubai as if asking for help.

'Why are you looking at me? I don't know medical skills.' Qin Mubai said to himself and thought about it. How dare Princess Gaoyang want to see her now... OK, it's right to go there. Otherwise, this little girl's heart will not be comfortable. Anyway, she is also the emperor's beloved daughter. She is sick now, which has more or less something to do with me. We can't really make her hate me and go back to find out and have a relationship.

"Where is Your Highness now? Is it convenient to stay down and visit for a while? Qin Mubai said.

The maid of honor really looked happy: "It's in the Xianju Hall, living with the Empress Defei!" If the general goes, the maid can lead the way.

"Then let's go!" Qin Mubai immediately got up and walked forward with the maid of honor.

The Empress Defei, that is, Yin Defei, one of the four concubines of Li Shimin, and the mother of Princess Gaoyang, is a person with a great history.

The Yin family is the feud of the Li Shimin family!

Yin Defei's father, Yin Shishi, is General Zuo Yiwei under Emperor Yang of Sui. When Li Yuan rose up against Sui, the Yin Shishishi killed Li Shimin's younger brother Li Zhiyun, and also dug the ancestral tomb of the Li family and demolished the Li family's temple. Later, Li Shimin broke through Chang'an City, and the Yin Shishi was beheaded to show the public, while the Yin family entered the Qin Wangfu as a slave.

I don't know whether Li Shimin was firmly attracted by this magnificent Yin Defei, or whether he intended to receive the daughter of this enemy's fierce ** to vent "class hatred". In short, Yin Defei became one of Li Shimin's favorite women later, and Zhen Guan also named her as one of the four concubines. And Yin Defei also gave Li Shimin a prince, Li You, and his favorite daughter, Princess Gaoyang.

The relationship between this family is really complicated and emotionally tortuous.

Xianju Hall is by the lake near Taiye Pool. The river breeze is light and the willow catkins are fluttering, and the scenery is pleasant and comfortable.

Qin Mubai wore the Kirin robe and walked freely anywhere in the harem. But as soon as he came back here for the first time, he was somewhat funny in his heart - am I using power to seek selfishly into the flowers?

Entering the Xianju Hall, only the palace eunuchs were seen in the hall, and there was no man. After a tortuous walk in the hall for a while, the maid of honor took Qin Mubai to stop outside the bedroom: "General, the Empress Defei and Her Royal Highness are both in the hall."

"You go in and report it."

The maid of honor agreed, opened the door and went in. After a while, she went out and invited Qin Mubai to go in.

Qin Mubai slightly straightened his clothes and walked in. He looked at his nose, nose, and did not squint. He saluted the bedroom with a hanging tent: "I, Qin Mubai, see the thousand-year-old Empress of the German concubine, and the thousand-year-old princess."

"Exemption from courtesy." A woman's light and steady voice came from the tent. She said slowly, "Are you General Qin Mubai Qin? Sure enough, he is a hero and a teenager with extraordinary deity. I've heard your name several times, and I can finally see your true face today.

"The Empress praised it." Qin Mubai arched his hand and replied. He really wanted to look up and see what kind of dignity did the Empress Defei behind the account. After all, she looked like, which could make Li Shimin forget that the world's hatred was accepted as a concubine.

"Mom, is that guy here? You have to ask someone to knock him down and hit him fifty big boards, bad guy!" Princess Gaoyang's voice came from inside. Although she was a little weak, she was still fierce.

"Ling'er can't be rude." Yin Defei gently scolded with pity, and then said to Qin Mubai, "General Qin, Gao Yang has been spoiled since he was a child, and he likes to be petty. If there is any offending, I will make amends to you in this generation.

"Mother! ...No! I won't do it!" Princess Gaoyang acted coquettishly.

Qin Mubai suppressed his laughter: "Isn't this the Empress Defei? It was Weichen's words and behavior that were inappropriate and offended the princess everywhere. Today, he came here specially to plead guilty.

"Ling'er, do you hear how well General Qin is and modest." Yin Defei whispered, "As a princess, how can you be so narrow-minded? Come on, make amends to the general.

"No need, Empress Defei." Qin Mubai said, "Weichen heard that the princess was sick, one came to plead guilty, and the other came to visit. The Empress Defei doesn't have to blame Her Royal Highness, so that she won't be depressed, which is not conducive to recuperation.

"What a good man who can pity people..." Yin Defei sighed inadvertently, and there was no resentment and admiration in her tone.

"Mother, you keep praising this bad guy!" Princess Gaoyang quit, pulled Yin Defei's arm and hummed.

"You are a child with a hard mouth. Didn't you talk about it when he didn't come? He said that he just wanted to learn the pipa from others and play it to your father and mother. Now that they are coming, you are clamoring for the sinner's family. Is this the way to treat guests and teachers? Yin Defei smiled and said, "General Qin, Gao Yang has always been so hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. You don't have to care. Now that you are here, please sit down for a moment. If you don't mind, can you play a song to open my eyes?

"The Empress Defei has an order, and Weichen should obey it." Qin Mubai sat down on the stool moved by the maid of honor, picked up the pipa, and said, "The princess is sick. When you listen to some gentle and soft songs, Weichen will play a song "High Mountain and Flowing Water"!"

"Vit's very good. This song has also been played by the court musicians. I don't know what it means when a generation of master Qin Mubai plays it. I listen carefully.

Qin Mubai played it. "High Mountain Flowing Water" is an ancient song, and people in the Tang Dynasty were also familiar with it. Although there are many versions that have been circulating, the mood is not much different. It is a relatively soft and soothing song.

After playing a song, Yin Defei was not in a hurry to speak, but came out from behind the curtain, smiled at Qin Mu and Bai Waner and whispered, "Gao Yang fell asleep listening to the general's song. This child hasn't slept since he came back last night, and he is very annoyed with me.

Qin Mubai inadvertently glanced at Yin Defei and couldn't help taking a deep breath.

If there is really a woman in this world, Yin Defei is definitely the representative figure!

Whether it is facial features, body, dress or temperament, this woman over the age of 30 is definitely a rare peerless beauty.

You can imagine how complicated Li Shimin was when he found this woman in the family of his enemies - it doesn't make sense if he doesn't kill her! The deep blood feud of the two families is irrecongible; kill it... It is difficult for any man to raise his butcher's knife in the face of such a woman!

Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by the beauty. In the face of such a stunning woman as Yin Defei, Li Shimin's desire overcame reason. He not only did not kill her, but also collected her, and finally made her one of the four concubines. Perhaps, Princess Gaoyang's appearance is similar to that of Yin Defei, which has become one of the reasons why Li Shimin spoils her!

This woman is so beautiful that it is suffocating. She is elegant and dignified and intoxicating.

There is no doubt that Yin Defei is the most mature woman that Qin Mubai saw after coming to the Tang Dynasty, which made him feel "amazing". Wu Mei Niang's natural beauty is amazing, but after all, she is still young and does not have the mature and charming feminine temperament of Yin Defei. Princess Gaoyang is also a typical beauty embryo, but her personality is too tricky and stubborn, and the young lady is full of airs, which is not the type Qin Mubai likes at all.

"If I had traveled 20 years earlier, I would have accepted Yin Defei first! ..." Qin Mubai could only talk about it in his heart.

"General Qin, why are you silent?" Yin Defei smiled lightly and asked in a charming whisper.

"Weichen saw that the princess was asleep, so he didn't dare to disturb her." Qin Mubai put down the pipa and got up to worship. "Since the princess has fallen asleep, please leave."

"It's easy to go, I won't send it." Yin Defei smiled and said with a slight smile.

"With such a humble and low-key imperial concubine, why didn't Princess Gaoyang learn one ten thousandth of her mother?" Qin Mubai sighed secretly and left the Xianju Hall.
